How far would a spacecraft moving in a circular orbit 500 km above Pluto's surface travel during that time?

Physics
1 answer:
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The speed of the spacecraft should be 719.35m/s

Explanation:

if the spacecraft is orbiting the planet with a circular orbit, the gravitational force must act as a centripetal force. This means:

F_G=F_c\\\frac{GmM}{d^2}=m\frac{v^2}{d}

In this case, the pluto's mass M is 1.3099·10^22 kg. The radius of the planet R is 1188.3Km and G is the gravitational constant. Therefore:

\displaystyle\frac{G M}{d^2}=\frac{v^2}{d}\\v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{d} } =\sqrt{\frac{GM}{(R + 500km)} } =719.35m/s

The force attraction between two objects, does what, as the distance between them increases?
gregori [183]

Decreases

Explanation:

The force of attraction between two objects will decrease as the distance between them increases.

This is in compliance with newtons law of universal gravitation.

The force of attraction between the two bodies is a gravitational force.

According to newton's law of universal gravitation "the force of attraction between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them".

 We see that from the last statement, the force of attraction between  is inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them.

          F ∞ \frac{1}{r^{2} }

r is the distance between them.

Starting from rest, a basketball rolls from the top to the bottom of a hill, reaching a translational speed of 6.1 m/s. Ignore f
tatiyna

Answer:

a) h=3.16 m, b)  v_{cm }^ = 6.43 m / s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

Starting point. Highest on the hill

           Em₀ = U = mg h

final point. Lowest point

           Em_{f} = K

Scientific energy has two parts, one of translation of center of mass (center of the sphere) and one of stationery, the sphere

           K = ½ m v_{cm }^{2} + ½ I_{cm} w²

angular and linear speed are related

           v = w r

           w = v / r

            K = ½ m v_{cm }^{2} + ½ I_{cm} v_{cm }^{2} / r²

            Em_{f} = ½ v_{cm }^{2} (m + I_{cm} / r2)

as there are no friction losses, mechanical energy is conserved

             Em₀ = Em_{f}

             mg h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} (m + I_{cm} / r²)         (1)

             h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} / g (1 + I_{cm} / mr²)

for the moment of inertia of a basketball we can approximate it to a spherical shell

             I_{cm} = ⅔ m r²

we substitute

            h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} / g (1 + ⅔ mr² / mr²)

            h = ½ v_{cm }^{2}/g    5/3

             h = 5/6 v_{cm }^{2} / g

           

let's calculate

           h = 5/6 6.1 2 / 9.8

           h = 3.16 m

b) this part of the exercise we solve the speed of equation 1

          v_{cm }^{2} = 2m gh / (1 + I_{cm} / r²)

in this case the object is a frozen juice container, which we can simulate a solid cylinder with moment of inertia

              I_{cm} = ½ m r²

we substitute

             v_{cm } = √ [2gh / (1 + ½)]

             v_{cm } = √(4/3 gh)

let's calculate

             v_{cm } = √ (4/3 9.8 3.16)

             v_{cm }^ = 6.43 m / s
